As thrilled as you are that you can now buy Lucha Libre’s crazy-good Mexican specialties at Petco Park, you can’t be as thrilled as the men behind the menu.

“We’re natives, and it is so exciting to be a part of this,” said Jose Luis Rojano-Garcia, who co-owns the Mission Hills restaurant with brothers Maurilio and Diego. “I just texted my girlfriend a picture of the (ball) field and said, ‘Guess where I’m at?’ ”

From Green Flash beer to Seaside Market tri-tip, it is a locals’ love-in at Petco Park this season, thanks to a big concessions upgrade that has brought some of San Diego’s favorite restaurants and breweries into the downtown ballpark.

The downside? The lines at these new food and drink joints will be long, and the prices will be inflated. (A Baked Bear ice-cream sandwich that costs $3.25 in the Pacific Beach store goes for $6.50 at Petco.) Judging by the samples I tasted at a media preview night this week, however, your wallet’s loss will be your palate’s gain. Here’s a guide to hometown bingeing at the ballpark.

Biggest food TKO: You know that line in front of the Lucha Libre Gourmet Taco Shop on Washington Street? The one that never appears to get shorter? Ever? One bite of the Queso Taco explains the insanity. The secret is the corn tortilla’s layer of crispy grilled cheese, which transforms the meat, avocado and secret-sauce interior into something so alarmingly tasty, you’ll have to put yourself in a headlock to avoid ordering 10 more. And you will lose. ($6.75 at the Lucha Libre shop on the Toyota Terrace near Section 213.)

Honorable TKO mention goes to Hodad’s Guido Burger, a beefy blowout whose fixings include pastrami. (At the Hodad’s restaurant in Section 203 and the new Ballast Point Draft Tap Room on the Garden Level.)

Guido sliders, made by Hodads, is one of the new food items being served at Petco Park on Monday night.

Most likely to cause whining: What’s better than taking the whole family to the game? Taking the whole family to the game and getting them home before someone discovers the Baked Bear shop. The Baked Bear sells custom ice cream sandwiches made with freshly baked cookies and premium ice cream. You pick the cookies and the ice cream, they build a sugar delivery device the size of a hockey puck. My chocolate-chip cookie and cookies-and-cream sandwich was as wonderful and frightening as it sounds. Once your sweet tooth gets ahold of a Baked Bear, the rest of you is toast. ($6.50 at the Baked Bear shop, inside the East Village Gate near Section 123.)

Most welcome wake-up call: Our friends at Ryan Bros. Coffee will be brewing up plenty of their in-house coffee and tea blends, and for that, we grown-ups are truly grateful. Particularly the grown-ups who forgot to bring a sweatshirt to the night game. Even better, the brothers will also be making spiked coffee drinks that sound like the liquid equivalent of a thermal poncho. I was most intrigued by co-owner Harry Ryan’s description of the Ryan Express, a combination of vodka, chai-flavored chocolate, San Diego Sunrise coffee and whipped cream. He wasn’t pouring samples of that one, and given that it was a Monday night, I was truly grateful for that, too.
